The deadline to register to vote in May primary election is Monday

After nearly three years in office, it's time to look at the accomplishments and frustrations of Joe Hogsett's first term as the mayor Indianapolis. He also must decide whether to run for re-election.

You can also register by mail using the voter registration form below. Send the completed form to your county voter registration office in the county where you live. You can find the address of that office in the document below.

Additionally, you can register to vote in person by visiting your voter registration or county clerk's office, or at any BMV branch if you're getting a driver's license or identification card.

Who's on the ballot

Hoosiers in cities and towns across Indiana, including Marion, Hamilton and Johnson counties, will cast primary ballots for mayoral, city and town council candidates. Both Republican and Democratic candidates are running for election in the majority of the 25 Indianapolis City-County Council districts.

Three Republicans — Jim Merritt, Christopher Moore and Felipe Rios — and a Democrat — Denise Hatch — will also attempt to unseat Indianapolis Mayor Joe Hogsett after one term.

In primary elections, Indiana voters must request a ballot for either Democratic candidates or Republican candidates. Voters then select candidates in the party of the ballot they choose.

Voters will not select Republican candidates over Democratic candidates — or vice-versa — until November.

How to find where to vote

Go online to indianavoters.com and click "Find Your Polling Place" under "Voting Location." Once you put in your full name, date of birth and county of registration, a list of places you can vote will appear on the left side of your screen. You can also call your county clerk's or voter registration office to find your polling place.

To vote, you must bring a valid state- or U.S.-issued ID that includes your name and your photo. If aren't able to present an ID, or you decline to do so, you will be offered a provisional ballot. A voter casting a provisional ballot due to an ID issue must present a valid photo ID to the county election board no later than noon, ten days after the election to have their provisional ballot counted.
